A visit to the neighborhood pumpkin patch

Sam visited his first pumpkin patch today. I think he only saw "orange balls" instead of pumpkins because he was determined to pick them all up and throw them! But, we had a great time. The weather is absolutely perfect now, so we are outside as much as possible! Notice his newly developed walking skills in the photos. He is going to be running before the end of the month, mark my words. YIKES!

Sam the Zookeeper

So Sam had his very first Halloween party yesterday. We decided to save the real costume (Elvis, of course) for the big day, but fortunately his friend Shane loaned him an adorable Zookeeper outfit for the party. Notice the sweet camo shoes too! Luckily he wasn't afraid of any of the costumes (then again, most of the kids barely kept them on for more than 5 minutes!!!) More to come after the real Halloween!

Sam gives a whole new meaning to "sloppy" Joes

Need I say more?  But he LOVED them!
